A traverse of the Arctic Ocean during a 2000-km unsupported ski expedition provided an opportunity to assess the impact of an extreme cold environment on the protective capabilities of a specialized footwear system (FS). A thermal foot model (TFM) measured thermal resistance (R, m2KW-1) of an FS in new and used conditions. FS consisted of a two-layer sock, a vapor barrier sock, a removable woolen innerboot, a NNN-configured leather/synthetic ski boot, and a waterproof gaiter. When comparing...

Ski and SnoN are members of Ski oncoprotein family. Overexpression of Ski or SnoN can induce transformation of chicken embryonic fibroblast. Ski/SnoN is recently identified as a repressor of TGF signaling pathway which is an important tumor suppression pathway at the early stage of tumorigenesis. Higher level of Ski/SnoN is found in transformed mammary epithelial cells. Ski/SnoN might play a role in regulation of the transformation of mammary epithelial cell by antagonizing TGF signaling...

Arvin/Calspan Advanced Technology Center's Dr. Michael Holden is an aerodynamicist who normally works on the reentry characteristics of space vehicles. Calspan donated the use of its wind tunnel for a program aimed at improving the performance of members of the U.S. Ski Team. Dr. Holden, a certified ski instructor, offered to apply his aerodynamics expertise to the design and supervision of the tests.

Keston Ramsey was born in 1908. He has lived most of his life in the Reno area. Mr. Ramsey was active in the ski industry from 1945 until 1964. During those years, he constructed and ran the Sky Tavern Lodge at the Mt. Rose Ski Bowl. During the summer months Ramsey had a successful contracting business. The memoir includes a description of acreage Ramsey owned in the Mt. Rose vicinity, an account of how he built the Sky Tavern Lodge and lifts at Mt. Rose Ski Bowl, and a typical day on the ski...

In the Multislope Ski Rental problem, the user needs a certain resource for some unknown period of time. To use the resource, the user must subscribe to one of several options, each of which consists of a one-time setup cost (``buying price''), and cost proportional to the duration of the usage (``rental rate''). The larger the price, the smaller the rent. The actual usage time is determined by an adversary, and the goal of an algorithm is to minimize the cost by choosing the best option at any...

Jim Hubbard was born in 1933 and began skiing as a teenager in Washington in the 1940s. He first skied the Eastern Sierra slopes above Reno in 1954, after being posted to Stead Air Force Base. Since the mid-1950s, skiing has become an important part of the economy and lifestyle of the Eastern Sierra. In this oral history, Jim Hubbard recalls his rise through the ranks of the National Ski Patrol. The development of different types of ski equipment is discussed, as is the origin and commercial...

This article is from PLoS ONE , volume 9 . Abstract Autophagy is increasingly being recognized as a critical determinant of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) biology. Previously, we have demonstrated that c-Ski inhibits VSMC proliferation stimulated by transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), but it is not clear whether c-Ski has the similar protective role against other vascular injury factors and whether regulation of autophagy is involved in its protective effects on VSMC. Accordingly, in... Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4041777

Further tests of SKI-CAT were made in smooth and rough water. Smooth water results confirmed the performance results of previous trials. An upper limit control boundary was established which restricts the flap angle to more negative angles as speed or RPM is increased. Rough water tests were a repeat also with performance and seakeeping results similar to those found earlier. Following seas account for small reductions in the accelerations and motions of SKI-CAT over against the head seas...

An alternative W mass estimator in e+e- -> WW -> qqqq events at LEP2 is designed to optimize the balance between the statistical uncertainty and the systematic uncertainty due to a possible Colour Reconnection effect. The preliminary result for the total uncertainty on the W mass in this channel is roughly 30 % lower then those obtained with the standard estimators, based on the SKI implementation of Colour Reconnection. Also an indirect measurement of the SKI Colour Reconnection model... Source: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ex/0205036v1

Large temperature increases were measured in downhill skis. A steady- state temperature was observed at the base, indicating that melting occurs over some portion of the base. This steady-state temperature increases with the ambient temperature and depends on ski speed and load, and the type of snow on the surface. Heat was observed to propagate up through the ski in both the field measurements and in a finite element model of a Rossignol DH ski. In that particular ski, much heat propagates...
